Step-by-step guide to installing OPC Publisher on Azure IoT Edge

Of all the Azure IoT Edge modules, the OPC Publisher is one of the more challenging modules to setup. I've had a number of Industrial IoT partners struggle with connecting an OPC UA server, such as a Historian or SCADA system, to Azure IoT Hub using Azure IoT Edge and our open source OPC Publisher module.

 

So I recently wrote a step-by-step blog post on LinkedIn on how to do this. 

 

If you don't have a physical device to act as the IoT Edge gateway, you can use a virtual machine running on-premise or in Azure as an alternative.

 

Hopefully the blog post will help you and save you some headaches when connecting using OPC UA.
